I love being a vascular surgeon for many reasons. The field of vascular surgery is constantly developing new minimally invasive approaches to treat vascular disease. These innovations help people feel better more quickly and get back to living well as soon as possible. I love that I get to treat a wide array of diseases, including carotid disease, aneurysms, blockages in the legs, veins, and establishing and maintaining dialysis access. The variety never gets old. Most of all, I love the opportunity to establish life-long relationships with my patients, as vascular surgeons often follow vascular disease over many years. I feel so fortunate to be part of my patients’ lives. I welcome this chance to meet and serve this community!
